When joining the insurance, you must accurately inform the insurance company of the insured person’s current state of health, occupation, and history of illness or injury.

・Why is notification necessary?
Insurance is a system in which all members pay insurance premiums to create a common property, and in the event of an accident, insurance claims are paid out of the common property to help each other. In order to maintain fairness between the insured and the smooth operation of the insurance business, it is necessary to carry out control during careful notification before registration.
For example, when comparing a healthy person to an unhealthy person, such as a person with a chronic disease, an unhealthy person is more likely to pay insurance claims, and the principle of fairness is maintained between the insured. Not.
Therefore, depending on the content of the notification, the insurance company may refuse to join. Alternatively, you may be able to enroll by paying a special premium.

Insurance companies do not look closely at advertising content when purchasing insurance.
However, when an insurance claim is made for an actual illness or injury, the insurance company may carry out a very detailed investigation.

In particular, the likelihood of a healthy person being admitted to a hospital or undergoing surgery immediately after obtaining insurance is low, so in most cases, thorough investigations are carried out when the filing of benefits or insurance claims immediately after obtaining the insurance. It is.
In the questionnaire, we carefully review the records of medical institutions and medical examinations reviewed in the past. Therefore, if you lie in the ad content, it will definitely show up.
Specifically, this applies to cases where the patient’s outpatient history is hidden from notification, or an abnormality is indicated during a health examination.
What happens when the lie is exposed?
・ You will not receive the insurance money and the contract may be canceled!
If the advertising lie is discovered, you will not be able to receive compensation or insurance money.
The insurance company can also cancel the continuation of the insurance, and if it is canceled, the insurance contract will be lost.
Even if the contract is canceled, you may be able to receive a refund for the cancellation, but if it is considered a tort breach or fraud, you may not be able to receive it.
・Possibility of contract termination and insurance fraud
If the lie in the ad is deemed to be very prejudicial, the insurance contract may be terminated.
Cancellation does not receive a refund for the cancellation, unlike contract cancellation. You could also be arrested and charged with Insurance Fraud.
